I have seen people get possesstion of mataji several times at Navratri festivals, during the rass garba. all of them involved a lady who starts twirling around, shaking, dancing eracticaly, postrating before mataji and most of time their eyes are closed. I am very facinated by this phenonmenon both as a practicing Hindu and a psychologist.
I know in Gujarati community people to enter into trance like states is common for the shakti devotees and very frequently this happens during Navratri. Most people say they 'see' mataji or, Ambaji, Randal ma, Kalika ma, which are common godesses worshiped in Gujarat. I also know that such religious trances also occur with Punjabi shakti devotees. I'm also aware that south Indians worshipin Marriamman enter into trances. Also in Tamil nadu many followers of Murugan (skanda, Kartik swami) enter into trance during the tai pusam festival.
